There will be one source package and two binary packages. Your control
file will have three clauses. The system understand this sort of thing
very well.

The sources should be as near as possible to upstream. Splitting them
up is not neccessary.

Look at the debhelper examples, remember that a -doc file is arch
independent while the binaries are probably arch dependent.
You can test this by using a -B, it shouldn't re-make the doc package
again (this is what the porters use).
